002 - [Action/Voice]
[Late in the morning, only just after he had his morning coffee and just fixed toast for breakfast, Teddy had been surprised to find himself being shoved out of the apartment by his own boyfriend. Soon, he found himself blinking at the front door, a piece of cinnamoned toast still in his hand as the post-it note with his name beside Billy's door sign fluttered mournfully to the ground.
He got out a pitiful whine and forlornly posted the note back up before he ushered himself outside, finishing his toast in the meantime.
During the day, Teddy can be found at multiple places. The first is the Battledome, where he fiddles with the settings, some as harmless as a movie theater and some as dangerous as a warzone, but he doesn't fully go through with them. He's merely going through the options for later use. He may mutter to himself about how this must be what the Danger Room is like, and he may even be up for a light spar or something different if someone found him.
The second is Seventh Heaven, where he eats a light lunch of a small burger with fries, and he's a little proud of how he didn't compare it to New York's food outloud. It doen't mean he doesn't think it, though, and he spends more time subtly people watching and listening to conversations than really focusing on food and what the homelife was like. When he's done, he doodles a few musical notes on a napkin, again to possibly be used at a later date, before he stuffs that in his pocket.
The final place is on the roof of the school. He's not doing much of anything up there, just sitting with his legs pulled up and looking out over the village.
Teddy still can't help marveling over how different this place is from what he's used to. There aren't any sounds of car alarms or horns, no distant conversations or laughter, no police sirens or a far off explosion from an invading force (though, Teddy thinks to himself, he ought to be more thankful for the lack of the latter). Occasionally at night, he still wakes up and thinks that it's too quiet, too dark. And he really hopes he's not the only one who thinks that way.
With that thought in mind, Teddy reaches behind him to take the journal, left open in case Billy decides to let him back into the apartment, and decides to address the masses.]
Does anyone else feel seriously out of place here, or am I just being weird? And I don't mean the whole, "being held captive and having to suffer through lame shifts", but just the setting in general. Anyone else out there come from a home that's completely different from a village straight out of Golden Sun?
[He decides then that he'll chat with people for a while, then venture off the roof and see if Billy will allow him back inside. Not that Teddy knows what he did to deserve being kicked outside, but maybe he can beg for forgiveness enough to be let back in.]

It just goes to show, I guess. The alternate versions of Earth are definitely strange to get used to though, even beyond the people who think Sherlock Holmes and Arsene Lupin were fictional.
Right, this place didn't either for a long time actually. Some of the older houses still haven't been updated.

[Don't mind her surprise, she doesn't sound judgmental, just curious.]
[Voice]
[Seriously, the idea, even if he isn't sure it'd really be a possibility, is enough to make him utterly giddy inside.]
[Voice]
Trust me, it's really overrated to have a mangaka stalker like that. [Oh... just don't even ask about the 4th wall break in the Lupin III manga. Monkeypunch gets yelled at all the time... by his own characters.]
You should check the library though. They had the Sherlock Holmes and Arsene Lupin books, so they probably have some sort of comics about people here.
[Voice]
Arsene Lupin, though... I've read some Sherlock Holmes, but not him. [Except Teddy's actually read the whole manga series, but let's just. Lay low on the mangaka stalker thing.]
[Voice]
Lupin will be ever so disappointed~ [And she sounds like she's enjoying that.]
Well, perhaps not in this place, since there's all those other worlds, but since you know Holmes and not his Grandfather, it totally still counts.
[Voice]
I'll have to hit the library sometime and see if I can find anything on him! [And after a pause:] Unless you want Lupin to stay ever so disappointed.
[Voice]
But they are really good books. Besides, just because you've read about his grandfather doesn't mean you know about the grandson, mm? And he'd be just as disappointed to know that he hasn't successfully beat the old man out in reputation yet.
[Ah, she's so cruel to him.]
